This is the best pressing of this album so far, great separations, bass and dynamics even in comparssing with first UK. Packaging magical as well with the thick cardboard sleeve and beautiful Obi design. -
Edited one year agoI had this one once and I think US pressing better. Japanese...hm, polished flat sound, lack of bass and details. Very expensive too. Don't worth so much money
UPD. Sleeve is not textured!! Only UK and US pressings has textured sleeves!! -
This sounds better than some Factory original pressings, I have to it. Excellent pressing and Cover too. I played this one and than a first press of the She's lost control 12". This japanese pressing has more detail and better balance. Highly recommended!
